Newspaper industry
Article Abstract:
Retail advertising space demand has increased for newspapers in the 1990s and the volume for classified ads appears to be strong, but ad competition from direct mail, TV, and other alternate media has increased. The price for newsprint is still high, but healthy cash flow from readership and ad sales is helping newspapers fund dividend payments and capital budgets. However, these stocks are expeceted to lag the market through late 1998 and 1999.

Article Abstract:
Newspaper advertising revenues have increased in the late-1990s after being in a state of flux in the 1980s and the 1990-91 recession, with higher line buys by advertisers. However, newspaper and broadcasting subsidiary ad sales could decrease if the economy slows in the future, and labor and newsprint remain major cost centers. There are several good investments for the next three-to-five years, although this is not the case for the near term.

Article Abstract:
Ad lineage sales for newspapers has increased during 1998, but these gains have been uneven depending upon region and ad category. There also has not been much improvement in local retail advertising, which accounts for up to 60% to 70% of annual advertising volume, and newspapers have had to adopt new capital and labor structures, as well. Newspaper industry stocks have become more timely in 1998, but there are few standout performers.
